I didn't commit any of these acts so I feel no guilt or obligation. Also none of the people alive today were victims of it and have no right to claim otherwise. That would be like citizens of the U.S. demanding Britain redress the era before the American Revolution, or Israelis demanding Egypt pay up, or the Greeks, Romans and many Europeans or so many countless peoples who were mistreated or enslaved. Genghis, or Atilla. Where does it end? Who decides whose claims are valid and whose aren't?

True, they do have more power when it comes to claiming racism in any area just because what Americans did to them...
And Jews also have power on grounds of second WW.
Now they can bomb the hell out of Palestinians, and if somebody puts a finger on them they just state antisemitism...
